Because the script doesn't have a way of excluding any posting?

Well I do exclude postings that I don't download to this machine
because they're too crossposted but once it's here that's it...

The posting happens via the cron, I suppose it could email me the
posting so that I can post it manually after clearing out the junk but
this way is simpler and this week was just a bad example
